A oonronn'rioN TIE-SLIP OOLLAR Thisinvention relates generally to collars and has more particular reference to a novel collar provided with a tie-slip.

The invention has for an object the provision of a device of the class mentioned, which is of simple durable construction, desirable in use and efficient in action, and which can be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.

The invention proposes the use of a collar having an outer and inner lapel consisting of outer and inner materials, and the inner material is provided with slots for forming loops providing passages for a necktie. These loops are arranged for holding a tie in a slidable condition and at the same time preventing any possibility of the tie dropping down out from between the lapels of the collar. A reinforcement strip of semi-stifi material is attached onto the material forming the collar in the vicinity of the slots for reinforcing the material and holding the same against wrinkling. 'The arrangement For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description andaccompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forminga material. part of this disclosure Fig. 1 is an elevational view of the inner side of a collar having its lapels opened.

Fig. 2 is a similar view of a collar attached onto a shirt. v

[Fig 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view of a portion of Fig. 2. I

Fig. 4 is a sectional view, taken on the line 44 of Fig.3. V

on the line 77, of Fig. 6. r

Fig. 8 is a view similarto Fig. 2, but disclosing a modification thereof.

The referencenumeral 10 indicates gen and an inner lapel the fold line being located between said lapels.

The inner material .11 is formed with several vertical slots 16 adjacent the outer material of the inner lapel, and these slots are so spaced so as to provide loops 17. A-nec'k tie 18 is illustrated to be engaged beneath the loops 17 for maintaining its position upon the inner lapel. A reinforcement strip 19 of semi-stiff material is secured by stitches a 20 on the rear side of the inner ma'terialll directly behind the slot 16.. The neck-tie, when engaged thru the slots is retained from 'beari-ng against the bottom of-the slots and cause wrinkling by this semi-stiff material.

In Fig. 2 a shirt 21 has been illustrated with the collar 10 attached. This shirt may be of any design'and CODSlJIIlCtlOIl and made from any material. Atle 18 1s shown engagedin loopslT as previously described. V

In the modified form of the device illustirated in Fig. 5, "the semi-stiff material 19 operationof'this form of the device is simil ar in all respects to "the previous described In the modified form of the device il ies trated in Fig. *8, vertieal slots 16 have been illustrated formed in the inner material 11 and extending across the inner and outer lapels. cured at one of their ends as at 26 onto the inner material 11. and extendover the, slots 16' and are detachably secured attheir free Fig. 7 1s a vertical sectional view, taken ends onto the material 11 by the buttons 27. A necktie 18 .isshown engaged thru the 17 formed by the slots. This necktieis at Transverse straps have been ,se-

the upper extremities of the loops so as to be adjacent the outer lapel of the'collar. When the outer lapel is turned down in the manner in which collars are Worn, the necktie 18 holds this lapel against being moved upwards. Dot-dash lines 28indicate a second position in which the necktie 18 ma-v be placed. In this position it is disposed against the lower portion ofthe loops 1'?- and adjacent the inner lapel of the collar. When thus worn the outer lapel l-l may be turned u Without interference from the necktie. efore the necktie may be moved from the first mentioned to the second position, the transverse straps 25 must be freed at their detachable ends.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodimentot my invention, it is to be dllClGI'SJOOd that I do not limit myself to the precise construction herein disclosed and theright is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure. by United States Letters Patent is 1. A collar, comprising an outer and inner lapel of double material, and having slot-s formed in the inner material and extending across both the outer and inner lapels for providing a passage behind portions of the inner material so as to term loops, and transverse straps extendedaeross the slots and detach ably arranged so that a tie engaged thru said loops may he held behind one of said lapels and when desired slipped behind the other lapel without removal from said loops.

2. A collar. comprising an outer and inner lapel of double material, and having: slots tormed in the inner material and extending across both the outer and'inner lapels for providing a passage behind portions of the inner material so as to form loops, and transverse straps extendedacross the slots and denature.

tachably arranged so'that a tie engaged thru said loops may be held behindv one of said lapels and when desired slipped hehind the other lapel Without removalfrozn said loops. and said transverse h line perinanentlv attached to said loops and detachablv connected with the inner material adiace nt the loops.- s i In testimony whereof I have a ed mysig- JAooB ensENwiiLn.
